Chapter 382: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_2

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was a rare period of leisure after a busy year.

“What a pity that Senior Brother Yuan is still in seclusion; he will not get to taste this Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.”

In his courtyard in Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai sat on the ground, opening a large jar of spiritual wine brewed from Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice harvested last year. The rich and mellow scent of the wine permeated the air, causing everyone present to narrow their eyes in intoxication.

“It seems I came back at just the right time this year.”

E Yun, sitting next to Chen Mobai, spoke.

This year, there weren’t many battles at Yun Meng Ze. E Yun transported the inner cores of demonic beasts and other precious items back to the sect. He also took the opportunity to apply for resources like Spirit Stone Arrays for the coming year.

Besides the two of them, Yan Jinye and Yue Zutao were also present. The former had been quite close to Chen Mobai ever since the event at Lonely Spirit Ridge – after all, they could be considered friends who had gone through life and death together.

As for Yue Zutao, he was someone Chen Mobai had always wanted to befriend. After all, he was the only one who had sampled the Tree Fruit beverage.

Before, when he was invited to Xiao Nanshan, Yue Zutao didn’t come because he felt it was too far. Today, he was in Divine Wood City and when he heard that Rank-2 spiritual wine was going to be opened, he gladly attended.

This Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine did not disappoint the four Foundation Establishment true cultivators present.

After each of them had a taste, their faces flushed, and a faint white mist ascended from their foreheads. A long while later, everyone sighed in relief, relishing the satisfaction of their vitality and spirits. They couldn’t help but praise it.

“I did not expect that this Spiritual Wine made from Rank-2 Spirit Rice, just one sip, has an effect almost comparable to taking a Rejuvenation Elixir.”

The Rejuvenation Elixir is a Rank-2 lower-grade elixir, used by Foundation Establishment cultivators at the early stage to nourish their bodies and invigorate their vitality. If taken long-term, it can also help in cultivating spiritual power and enhancing divine sense.

Even though it’s not too expensive, at ten Spirit Stones each, the sheer quantity needed is daunting. Basically, any Foundation Establishment cultivator in a good condition would keep hundreds of them on hand.

And those body refining cultivators would take it day and night.

“Junior Brother Chen, when will this Rank-2 spiritual wine be available in your shop?”

After drinking, Yue Zutao couldn’t help but inquire about placing an order.

“I’m afraid that will have to wait ten years.”

Chen Mobai’s words made everyone on the scene gasp in surprise.

“Junior Brother, why does it take so long?”

“Zhuo Ming, could you explain to Elder Brother E and the others?”

Chen Mobai immediately called on his little disciple who was serving at the side. Her cultivation level had already reached the sixth level of Qi Cultivation. In these two years, she had been focusing on cultivating Spirit Rice and concocting Medicinal Wine. Her originally fair skin had developed a slightly jade yellow color, making E Yun almost fail to recognize her.

“Two elder uncles, this is how it is. The maturation of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice takes ten years. The Spirit Rice used for brewing this wine was ripened using a special method by my master; its quality is actually not up to Rank-2.”

E Yun and Yue Zutao looked at each other in surprise after hearing this.

On the other hand, Yan Jinye, who had been frequently visiting Xiao Nanshan this year, already knew about this. In fact, she even participated in the process of brewing the wine.

“But that’s not right, this jar of Spiritual Wine is a genuine Rank-2.”

The difference between Rank-1 and Rank-2 was something that these Foundation Establishment cultivators could discern. The Elixirs and Spiritual Wine of Rank-1 were of no use to them now, only a Rank-2 Spiritual Wine could let their bodies and minds be intoxicated and circulate their vitality efficiently.

“That’s because the ripened Spirit Rice retains some of the characteristics of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. Besides, during the brewing process, with the help of Elder Sister Yan, we integrated the formula of the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup, and brewed it using medicinal wine techniques. Yet even so, out of 26 jars, only two were successful.”

As Zhuo Ming said this, she took out another jar of Spiritual Wine from her storage bag. Although it also gave off a tempting aroma of wine when opened, it wasn’t nearly as intoxicating as the one they were drinking.

“This one failed. Although it can be considered Rank-1 Spiritual Wine, it’s completely useless for elder uncles.”

E Yun and Yue Zutao filled a large bowl and took a sip. Although the taste was not bad, it was as Zhuo Ming said, of no use to them Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

“It’s still considered a success. After all, for Qi Practitioners, this Spiritual Wine is definitely a great tonic.”

Yan Jinye, who was sitting on the side, spoke up. Without her, a Foundation Establishment cultivator to help, it would have been basically impossible to brew Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.

Therefore, to thank her, Chen Mobai gave her a Rank-2 Elixir formula, earning Xiao Nanshan the exclusive right to brew this Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.

At this, Yan Jinye was extremely delighted. She even told Zhuo Ming privately that she should feel free to notify her if she encountered any problems while brewing new medicinal wines. As long as Yan was free, she would come to help.

“Junior Brother Chen, there’s still one jar, so hurry up and open it.”

Having understood the reasons, E Yun immediately turned his attention to the other jar of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.

“Elder Brother, let’s finish this jar first.”

Chen Mobai patted the jug by his side that was almost half his height. With their drinking capacity, it would be good if they could finish half.

“Junior Brother Chen, I was reserved in drinking because the wine wasn’t up to par. For this jar of wine, I could finish it on my own.”

E Yun’s words made Chen Mobai burst into laughter.

“If Elder Brother E can truly drink that much, I will gladly offer the other jar I have been saving.”

“Good. Add my portion, and I guarantee we will finish both jars today.”
